This is the greatest album in the history of Rock n’ Roll. I know you’ve heard it before, perhaps many times before, but listen again.
It stayed on the Billboard top 200 for fourteen years. That’s approximately how long it takes a male human to reach sexual maturity. So, if you were born in 1973, this album was still charting when you got your fist pube. I’m just sayin’.
My point is- Holy shit. This record is amazing.
Even if you first heard this in a dorm room when you were eighteen, you can keep coming back to it for the rest of your life, and it will still be absolutely awesome.
The Flaming Lips are threatening to remake this record, which strikes me, personally, as one of the most egregious acts of arrogance in the history of the world. Insipid douche bags. Hopefully they’ll all be electrocuted during one of their meticulously contrived ‘religious-experience’ concerts (gross) and their re-make will never see the light of day. One can only hope.
Scratch that bit about, “threatening” to remake Dark Side of the Moon. They already did it. And they enlisted the help of Rollins and Peaches.
Awe… some?
Anyway, dust this record off and give it a listen. We’ll catch you next week.
